An Old ResidentGOne.

George M. Reed, an old resident Of this
place died last Friday morning from paraly-
sis, after lingering in an unconscious condi
ton for nearly a week. Some weeks ago
Mr.. Reed was thrown from horse, and at
that time received injuries to his shoulder
and spine that partially paralyzed his left
side. Not until Sunday last, however, did
the old gentleman give up and take to his
bed. Since last Sunday he grew worse, un-
til at last he became completely paralyzed,
and could not talk or eat, nor move a muscle
in his body. Mr.. Reed was born in Fulton
county, New York, on the sd Of June, 1920,
and consequently was 81 years Of age at the
time Of his death. He came to this coast
with his family in 1860, crossing the plains
in a wagon, and lived for some years on the
old Cooney ranch on the Carson river, and
in 1868 moved to Dayton, which place he
has made his home ever since. He leaves a
wife and one daughter, Mrs. George Barton,
residing in Dayton, and two brothers, one
living in Wisconsin and the other in New
York, also many friends to mourn his loss.
The funeral will take place from deceased
late residence at o'clock this afternoon.
Friends Of the family are invited to attend.

Death Of John SlaYem.

"Johnny" Slaven died at the county hos
pital last Wednesday about noon, after an
illness of about week. Mr.. Slaven was a
native of Philadelphia, and at the time Of
his death was s. years of age. He came to
this coast when quite young man and fol
lowed mining for living in California in
early days. About 1860 he came to Nevada
and has been living at or around Dayton
ever since. He was employed for several
years at the old Rock Point mill, and also
at other mills that were running here in early
days. OF late years he has worked in the
hills chopping wood for various persons, un.
Ill year or more ago, when he came to Day
ton and gained living by doing odd jobs
around town. Like many others who were
here in flush times and had opportunities to
make money, and did make money, Johnny
died poor. He was a good hearted, and
a good natured man, the worst that could
be said of him was that he was his own worst
enemy. He was buried by the county last
Thursday morning. He has, we believe a
sister in Philadelphia, but had no relatives
on this coast.

Aurora.

The Consolidated Esmeralda Company is
preparing for more extensive work on the
Durand. Workmen are now erecting hoist
ing apparatus for the extraction of large
quantity of good ore which is now in sight.
About fifty tons of $40 is now on the dump,
and lot Of very rich ore which assays from
ST. to 1000 will soon be shipped. A
drift which has been begun ITO feet from
the tunnel level shows this rich ore in fair
sized punches and the general appearance Of
the mine is exceedingly favorable.
In the Juniata work is progressing in both
upper and lower levels. There is good
ledge but it is not yet rich enough to pay for
milling. The Company will Increase the
number of miners on the first of October,
and will begin work on two other mines.
The Antelope continues its output Of mill
ing ore which is being profitably crushed at
the Silver Hill mill - Walker Lake Bulletin

One Of the most useful, but seldom seen,
articles, upon farms is a stack cover. Many
farmers have not sufficient barn room for
the proper storage Of all the early gathered
crop, a portion Of which has to be stacked
outside. Often the stack cannot be compile
ted upon the first day, and has to be left IN,
protected from the weather. Or rain falls
during the operation Of forming the stack,
and the contents receive more or less dam
age. The value Of the lost crop, would, in
most cases, be more than the cost Of canvas
covers. Frequently load of hay or grain
is put upon wagon, but cannot be taken
descends upon it, In such cases a stack
cover would prove valuable. Again, val.
liable binder or other implement is at work;
bad weather sets in before the machine can
be removed TO cover, the stack cover comes
in very handy, and the implement being
kept free from alternate wetting and drying
will last SO much the longer. The many in
stances wherein they wonld prove valuable
are too numerous for us to here enumerate.
Old ships sails make splendid stack covers,
and where these cannot be had, duck is a
very good substitute. This can be purchas-
ed at the leading dry goods stores at very
cheap rate. When in use, one OF the main
things Is to see that there are no hollows
where the water can lodge. A thin materi
| al, such as common factory cloth, will
turn off great deal of rain if kept we'll street
ched, exactly on the same principle as an
umbrella. Damp may penetrate, but if
there are no hollows the water will pour off.
After use the covers should be we'll dried in
the sun, folded and put away in a conven.
lent place for future and ready use. They
will then last for years. The size of the
covers is entirely matter of choice. Two
Of, say, FIVE yards square will be found very
convenient, and capable of covering toler
ably large stack, and it will be found that
two covers OF moderate dimensions will be
more convenient to handle than large one.

Last Wednesday afternoon Walter Kelly
imbibed too much "hard liker" and went
down to the Rock Point mill, where he had
previously been working, and created quite
disturbance by exhibiting his pugiistic
abilities. Thursday forenoon Superntend-
en-, Shirley had the young man arrested for
disorderly conduct. Kelly plead guilty and
was fined 500 and costa pretty heavy
dose-but Walter thinks it served him right.
The simplest way to have settled the matter
would have been for some of the berated
persons to have punched his head and called
il square.

Benefits of the A. q. u. w.

Another instance of the benefits derived
from, and the good done by the A. o. u.
w. is shown in the case of the late George
Cobb. A committee from River Lodge No.
s, A. o. U. w. presented Mrs. Mary Cobb
last Thurs day with $2,ooo-that being the
amount paid on the death Of a brother in
good standing. George Cobb died on the
28th day of last August an on the 18th day
of this month-less than three weeks-his
widow was paid the full amount Of insurance.
Such promptitude is highly commendable,
and is not exceeded, let alone equaled, by
any other beneficiary order or association.
This Order, on account of its intrinsic merit,
is rapidly taking the front rank, and every
man who has the welfare Of his family at
heart, we think should belong tot. George
Cobb was a good and true man; by his
thoughtful care in life he provided for his
family, who otherwise would have been left
to struggle alone in poverty.

TEX Captured.

The Chronicle. Union Of Bridgeport gives
an account Of the capture Of "Tex," no.
torious horse thief and desperado, who in
1854 escaped from the Mono county, Call
fornia Jail. where he was languishing for the
crime of stopping the Lundy stage and abb
Quoting Chinawoman and robbing her Of
$76o. Two deputy Sheriffs. Callahan and
Stoves, were shot over the matter, the for.
mer subsequently dying. "Tex" was cap
tured about two weeks ago by Constable
Hensley, Of MADEIRA, California, and is now
in Jail there. He is wanted for many diff
ferent crimes, among which are highway
robbery, horse stealing and probably muir
der. Some years ago ne was the leader OF
desperate gang that had a rendezvoux near
Candelaria, Nevada. The stockmen Of
Ezmeralda and Lyon countys have suffered
many losses through "Tex" and all are no
doub, willing to see him hang. 1t was hard
work for Constable Hensley to keep his
prisoner from being lynched at one or two
points on the road when the people learned
who he was, but he was landed safely be-
hind the bars and will be closely watched
until his trial takes place when he will prob
ably hang.

IL Mahoney the Murderer.

Some years ago a man named Mahoney
was convicted in Virginia City Of having
murdered his wife. Her body was terribly
mutilated, and more shocking sight was
never witne ssed in Virginia City. Mahoney
was sent to the State Prison where he now is.
Prior to the killing of Mrs. Mahoney, the
Pollock family were mystnriously murdered
for their money and their bodies mutilated
and burned. Since Mahoney has been IN
Prison, his house was torn down, and secret
ed in the casing of the door was found rife
belonging to the late Pollock with his name
engraved on the barrel. 1t is now believed
that Manoney killed the Pollocks, and then
killed his wife to prevent her telling what
she knew Of the terrible tragedy.-AbPeal.
There are many people in this county who
believe that Mahoney and his son Dennis, a
worthless vagabond, were the murderers Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Pollock, and it has always re-
manned a mystery why Mahoney was sent to
prison instead of hanged, for there is no doubt
in the world that he brutally murdered his
wife, and the superstition is that he commit
ted the crime to put her out of the way SO she
could not in fit Of anger tell about his
former bad deeds. This Is the version the
TIMES gave Of the whole affair soon after the
murder Of Mrs. Mahoney, and we believe
tina, more evidence will be found some day
thar will on to show that Mahonev was the
slayer Of the PollockS.
